Description
This fennec is a walnut piece for For a first go, it isn't too shabby, but I instinctively dislike glue, so it isn't excatly what I wanted. With more time I think I would have liked to make it all of one piece of wood, sculpture style, like most of my pieces. Unfortunately time has run out on me and I ended up doing the ears ant the tail separately and gluing them on. (It also makes me fear for how it will fare in shipping.)Not a fan of that light/dark laminating scar bisecting his body, but it is always fantastic to get outside of the MLP universe and explore a new anatomy and find out new things.
Ok, and now, as in as soon as I finish typing this, I'm getting on a plane to Doha. See you guys in five weeks, dependent on internet.

Hi there!
Well I usually make my ponies with a scrollsaw and a dremel, with help occasionally of a chisel, gouge, or other handtool. And the timeline really depends on the pony, but start to finish I would generally say a pony takes about 10-15 hours, although simple ones might take 4 and crazy ones might take 25 or more.

Yeah I'm trying to do as much other work as I can because I'm feeling very in a rut when it comes to working on pony anatomy with pony poses etc.

You now have my attention. A single simple pose, with all the fluid motion of the ever-physical ocean. This piece is gorgeous and an excellent addition to any collection. I'm unable to make the difference in whether the ears are glued or not, so you have successfully (as always, really!) impressed me!
From a critique standpoint, my only suggestion would be to doodle out some of your poses (I believe you already do) and flip them back and forth digitally to see the anatomy and structure of the creatures you make. The legs on this, as I'm sure you already know are stiff and he seems to be rigidly frozen against a predator, despite the rest of his body suggesting otherwise. Lack of elbows, to be frank. If you aimed to make this one piece, a better attack on the pose would be bringing the legs and paws in, that way the leaning forward allows the weight to be proportionally placed along all four limbs, giving you the little 'push' you need in the pose, and allowing for one solid cut.
Just my two cents however! Tell me whenever to shut up! <3

The day I turn down criticism will be the very day I hang up my apron.
Only fools and geniuses try to advance only in their own style relying on internal revelations to move them forward. And I'm no genius, and just possibly not a fool.

This is so good, and Netikras is right you can't really tell it's glued

It looks good, you can't event tell that its ears and tail are glued.
